I covered the Tiger Woods scandal extensively, and I’m hard pressed to remember how many women came out of the woodwork with detailed stories about shagging him. I remembered it as just over a dozen, but I checked and there were at least 15-16 willing to come out publicly, with varying stories of period sex, threesomes, and text message booty calls. That suggests that you could easily double that number to imagine how many were behind the scenes, like bedbugs or roaches where you only see a few out of the colony. Many of these were working women, and you could argue that prostitutes would be more likely to cash in, but surely just as many would be afraid to come out and reveal their profession. Not only was Tiger paying for it, he was also sleeping with whomever was around. He seduced two of his neighbors’ college-aged girlfriends (that we know of).

It was sick and twisted, and you have to question any woman’s sanity to enter into a relationship with that man after all that came out about him. Professional skiier Lindsey Vonn surely thinks he’s “changed” though, and I would bet she sees his bad boy past as some kind of turn-on. As we know, these two released some very cheesy “couples portraits” earlier this week, along with separate statements hilariously asking for “privacy.” They’ve been together probably six months – tops. Now comes news from US Weekly that Tiger has confessed everything to Lindsey and that she totally understands! It’s hilarious. Oh and for those of you who might not read further at this point – go check out The Sun to see a new photo of Lindsey posing as Sharon Stone in her famous Basic Instinct scene before she opens her legs. So classy. Here’s more:

“They’re a really happy couple — not living together yet,” a source explains to Us Weekly of the pair, who were first linked romantically late last fall, although gold medalist Vonn (then in the midst of finalizing her divorce from husband Thomas Vonn) initially took pains to deny anything romantic.

Now that they’re sharing their love with the world — Woods announced they’ve “become very close and dating,” and Vonn gushed “it makes me very happy” — many are wondering the obvious: Did they have “the conversation” about Woods’ infamous history?

“He confessed everything in his past to her and stuff – they’re really into each other,” the source tells Us. The number-one ranked golfer’s romantic and sexual past is, of course, a lot more public than most people’s: Over Thanksgiving weekend in 2009, Woods got into a car crash outside his Florida home after wife of six years Elin Nordegren learned of his affair with nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel. Over the next few months, over a dozen other women came out of the woodwork revealing flings with Woods, including cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs, who shared an infamous voicemail from a panicked Woods exclusively with Us Weeky.

I doubt he confessed “everything.” Given his statements to the press, I would assume he focused on why he did what he did, and not what he did exactly. Those details are crazy, and Lindsey is probably so dickmatized she doesn’t want to hear about it anyway. “He’s changed, he’s a new man with me!”

In that Sun article I linked to earlier, the one where Lindsey Vonn is dressed up like a budget Sharon Stone with amateurish Photoshop, (I can’t tell if it’s an actual photo or just pure Photoshop, but they claim it’s real), they include an old quote of Lindsey’s that’s really telling. Before she hooked up with Tiger, after his scandal, she said in an interview “There’s something you don’t know about me. Tiger, you’re like my idol, and I too have a sex problem.” Nasty.

Some of you have speculated that this relationship is a publicity set-up so that each of these athletes will appear more desirable to sponsors. There’s that aspect of it, I mean they’re wearing branded clothing in these photos, but I think it’s for real.

Exactly. Why bother with a “confession” when everyone (and I mean everyone) knows all the details anyway because it was all over the internet, newspapers, magazines? Maybe the confession(if it actually took place) was the “why” part – i.e. “why I got with so many skanks when I had a beautiful loving wife and 2 babies at home”.

I don’t either…he clearly has a type. Plus I wouldn’t read anything into them wearing sponsored clothing. Tiger ALWAYS wears Nike gear and they were probably trying to look more athletic in these pics. I do love her blue under armour top.

Nike and UnderArmor are pretty fierce competitors so there’s no way they would work together on this. Here’s a radical thought … maybe they wore their sponsors’ clothes because they don’t have any non-branded casual apparel.

This is absolutely for branding. She gets to be with a more famous name and he gets to clean up his image and get back his $$$.

Tiger’s type is if it has legs. He also likes athletic girls. He slept with a girl I knew in Orlando (Tiger had a home in Wisteria at the time) and she has a “but-her-face” and a beautiful athletic body (thick but athletic downstairs). The couple I knew broke up because she cheated with Tiger, actually. This was when he was engaged and not yet married; 2005ish. She worked at a Wilt’s and both enjoyed basketball and that’s how they started talking.

Well… even if he didn’t tell her everything, his antics have been widely publicized all over the world so she knows who that man is… plus hey the man has $$$$$$ and I’ve never heard of her, gold medallist or not.

She’s one of the most well known Olympic athletes in America because she’s good at her sport and extremely good looking. Got the most coverage during the Olympics. So it’s like America’s Olympic sweetheart hooking up with America’s bad boy athlete. I think it’s an image makeover for him.

He doesn’t need an image makeover. He was the third highest paid athlete last year. Tiger still has major endorsements from Nike, Rolex and EA games. If he wins The Masters next month, it’ll complete his comeback in the eyes of the golf world and Madison Ave. A faked relationship has no benefit for him. My guess is they went public because she wants to watch him at The Masters without it being a colossal distraction.

Extremely good looking??? Maybe the bar is set ultra low for female athletes, but as far as the general population is concerned, that would e a big NO!! I would take Lolo Jones a million times over before I sniffed Lindsay Vonn

Ugh! I feel like I used to think LV was cute, but in these pictures she is looking like a chunky Brooke Mueller, or to borrow from Michael K, a dollar store version of that girl from Knocked Up (her name escapes me).

I agree Cazzie. I bet they have mirrors in their bedroom, not for sex stuff (although there’s that too) but just so they can look at how beautiful they are! I think LV has an ego as big or bigger than Tiger’s so this could indeed be a perfect match. And I like how LV dumped her husband/coach after her banner Olympic year. If you ever see her on a talk show, she just never shuts up about how wonderful, strong, and talented she is. But the real remains, can she swing a golf club, and I’m not talking on the course? Enjoy your life Elin.

I am not defending Tiger… AT.ALL. His behavior is quite common in professional sports… maybe not so much in golf, but in the NBA, for example… nasty stuff, and many who are getting plenty on the side have wives that look the other way.

Blarf. Class is really missing in our world today. People just don’t have the sense to feel shame when they should. Woods is a nasty man, and not in a fun way, girls. I read Hank Haney’s book on woods, and he really does appear to have NPD. No big shock there, I know.

I don’t necessarily believe the addage “once a cheater, always a cheater,” but I don’t think I could ever date someone who cheated on their spouse with 27+ other people! She’s setting herself up for a heartbreak.

She’s got all the evidence, with is confession on how the life will be .. give it a few years.. a kid.. and before he can ruin your whole life and you are stuck with tolerating the worst betrayals for the sake of the marriage and in secret hear the gossip, stay calm and cool, but.. the paps stalk you and everyone seems to want a pity me misery story from you.. for big bucks if you sell out.. and there is a equally bad time you are expected to get family counseling.. negotiate every second you are stuck with him on how long this ruse of we love each other but.. we need to get a better relationship, um no one is perfect, forgive and forget, and it’s all a joke.. Give up, surrender, don’t take a golf club to him.. let him quickly be a free to cheat bad boy, take your share and get on with your life.. the quickie divorce is best, for he surely hasn’t retired his huge egotistical sleazy-cheat personality.., he can’t pretend to be sad for long.. let him hang himself with a hurried release, you are done..
Lack of Physical Intimacy in the Relationship is a no-no.. but the wife isn’t a swinger ..doesn’t stoop to share so he isn’t bored.. why marry if that is so..
Some men have some seriously dominate male-egos and it gets worse with power. The last thing they want to hear is a no to their demands. If his wife is high handed or bossy who denies him sexual pleasure time and again, he is bound to go astray. Men in power have more opportunity. Hope he does well in his renewed career and is filling up the bank vaults.. There is an element of intoxication associated with huge success. When you know you are number one the success does get to your head. The surge of power through your body can give a high like no drug can. That’s when you feel like you can get away with anything, for you are at the top of your game with popularity, success and wealth.. the confident rush of impulsiveness returns.. you just have to have a crowd of worshipers and fans to adore you again.. uh oh.

Nothing against Elin, but Lindsey Vonn’s worked hard and she’s been highly successful in her sport. To be fair, Lindsey may be using Tiger for a future post-skiing career or for his $$$, but it’s not fair to dismiss her just because she isn’t as physically attractive as Elin.

She is an amazing skier, one of the best in the world. Although I think I heard she was in another skiing accident recently, so I’m sure her career has been shortened somewhat. It’s a dangerous sport that’s very hard on the body.

I wouldn’t think he would need to confess every detail. What EVERYONE knows is certainly skeevy enough. This isn’t ‘I was unfaithful to my wife during one night of drinking and bad decisions’ or ‘I had a three month affair with my assistant’. This is “I f*cked a busload of sluts every which way, at every opportunity I got.” He couldn’t possibly remember each instance, and each face.

Maybe he and Lindsey are braggin gto each other? Maybe this gets them turned on?

Sounds like she has as big an ego as he does and is bragging too, “we’re both bad a$$ and kinky.” Also she wants the publicity boost for her career and she is a confidant risk taker, just look at her sport. She may already have agreed to look the other way to all the new sex partners. He is a sex addict, that means he needs the high of the secrecy, betrayal and hook ups with random strangers. “How quickly can I get this person out of their clothing?”
Tiger’s been a sex addict for a long time and it won’t stop without long term therapy, which his isn’t getting. In fact I would guess that he is currently juggling several mistresses and that’s why his game has improved. He distracts and relaxes himself with the sex texting during games. I hope Lindsay gets regular testing for std’s.

“Confessed”?! You mean there was more than what was reported by the media? I just….can’t even imagine what’s left to confess.

He certainly has a type, doesn’t he? Goes public with the gorgeous girl-next-door type, and cheats with the cheap, ridden-hard-and-put-away-wet type. Talk about the relationship version of sliding doors.

While I am not a Tiger fan by any stretch of the imagination, I think people forget that he had a drug addiction. I’ve known plenty of people who kicked their drug of choice and went back to being responsible adults. I hope for the sake of his children that he’s one of them.

I knew someone who went though sex rehab – apparently it’s really strict – you cannot do any of the sexual activities that you were addicted to, it’s a “typical” 12-step program. Hope it works out for them

Just as an aside, I was watching TMZ live the other day and they were reporting on the NON-story of how Tiger’s yacht is parked behind Elin’s new billionaire bf’s yacht in Florida. They pointed out how Tiger’s yacht is 9 feet shorter than the new boyfriend’s, and implying/turning it into a penis-measuring contest. Then the stupid voiceover guy said something like, “Well, it’s no wonder, because Tiger’s part…” and they showed a pic of his Asian mom and played stereotypical Asian music. It was SO crass, and worst, RACIST, I had to turn the channel. Like, why didn’t they throw in a “Asians are bad drivers” joke while they were at it? Ugh.

Everything Tiger does is calculated. I believe that they are a couple (whatever Lindsey – rock out with your c*ck out I guess), however, the motivation behind these pics is transparent. Tiger is on an upswing (literally) in his golf game and, though he has a ton of cash already, he’s now setting the stage for sponsors and the public to begin supporting him again. Since Vonn is willing & able, this simply makes her an appropriate pawn for his plans. It’s classic narcissistic behavior – he’s one helluva a douchebag.

For his own sake I hope you’re wrong. Athletes should not have to marry to project an ‘image’ to the public. I am almost positive that he will make his future wives sign pre-nup agreements. If he doesn’t, he is going to be taken to the cleaners every time.

Elin got what the lawyers and courts agreed she was legally entitled to. He also paid for her silence on his/ their private life and what he didn’t want her talking about going forward. This would have also included what Elin was privy to about other golfers and those around Tiger. Had she been free to sign book deal(s), do interviews, etc she could have made millions. He probably assured her silence in perpetutuiy (including after both of their deaths). This was not about being taken to cleaners, it was about the dollar value of what was involved. He has said many times Ishe’s a great mom and is providing a stable, loving environment for his kids and values that.

Because Lind was cracking under the constant pap surveilance ever since their hookup was suspected. To lighten the scrutiny and to give one gigantic FU to the paps, Tiger released these photos on his terms.

What this did was twofold: 1) Because the pics of them together are out, any pap shot of them together from now on will be A LOT LESS than what it would’ve been; 2) and hence there will be less paps stalking Lind from now on.

At least this is what non-gossip MSM (USA Today, Fox, CNN, etc) are reporting as to the behind the scenes story of this bizarre coming out.

That may be case as well Mike. I think the overall thought behind the pics has more meat on it so to speak other than simply taking a pic so the paps will get off your case. The paps are going to be all over them regardless – they’ve already got their celeb name: Liger. There’s an insinuated portrayed image of wholesomeness, happiness and innocence in these multiple pics – which is exactly what Tiger wants people to again think/feel when they see him.

If they are a real couple, they sure do look incredibly awkward around each other. Wouldn’t a real couple actually *touch* each other while sitting next to each other on a sofa? The outside of their forearms notwithstanding.

IDK, they look pretty cute and happy to me. Hard to believe, but one can hope. I like Lindsey and was happy she got away from her husband. Though I wonder if Lindsey is just naive about men, having been with one man for so long. Maybe she thinks she can reform the savage tiger.

I think this is arranged and they’re both in on it. He is using her for the “family” part of his image – even though we know the truth about him. And she’s using him for his money, especially since she recently had another accident. Imo, she realizes that marrying him and having a child with him is a golden ticket for taking care of herself later, so she’s going for it. The fact that they both have “sex problems” makes it bearable for her, is my guess.
